It was commitment. Total commitment. I could travel light years toward my goal but if I stopped an inch short of it, all the miles would be useless.
Marie Yan Lint, in Teach Only Love, by Gerald G Jampolsky (see works by Gerald Jampolsky )
It’s not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently.
from Awaken the Giant Within, by Anthony Robbins (see other works by Anthony Robbins )
Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation) there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occured. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.
WH Murray, quoting Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (see works by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe )
To say yes, you have to sweat and roll up your sleeves and plunge both hands into life up to the elbows.
Jean Anouilh
The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.
from Tuesdays with Morrie, by Mitch Albom (see works by Mitch Albom )
When you accept the challenge to implement your soul’s purpose, you will soon move from career to mission. You will need to become fearless and disciplined. Soul work cannot be undertaken halfheartedly; it demands total commitment. This commitment does not require you to become a workaholic. On the contrary, soul work is joyful and light. Advance soul workers do not labour hard to achieve results. They manifest what they want through the power of their minds and by understanding the principles of manifestation.
from A Guide to Liberating Your Soul, by Richard Barrett (see works by Richard Barrett )
When your commitment is to be loving regardless of the circumstances, there is no room for harsh words. You assert yourself not from a desire to control but from a desire to stand for who you are.
from Fearless Loving: 8 Simple Truths That Will Change the Way You Date, Mate and Relate, by Rhonda Britten (see other works by Rhonda Britten )
Enthusiasm is the best protection in any situation. Wholeheartedness is contagious. Give yourself, if you wish to get others.
David Seabury
Follow your bliss. Find where it is and don't be afraid to follow it.
Joseph Campbell
You need to make a commitment, and once you make it, then life will give you some answers.
Les Brown, American motivational speaker, author and trainer (see other works by Les Brown )
I think I’d like to be remembered as someone who beat the odds through just plain determination. … that I persevered. Because I think that being somewhat of a pest to life, constantly plaguing and pursuing, will bring results.
Sylvester Stallone (1946-) American actor (see works by and about Sylvester Stallone )
Individual commitment to a group effort – that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.
Vince Lombardi
Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out they’ve got a second. Give your dreams all you’ve got and you’ll be amazed at the energy that comes out of you.
William James (see works by William James )
I want to work for a company that contributes to and is part of the community. I want something not just to invest in. I want something to believe in.
Anita Roddick, founder of The Body Shop (see works by and about Anita Roddick )
